Compared to http://www.wowhead.com/?item=40514, this is a near identical match to the T7 for Elemental shamans. No noticeable differences in stats. Only reason T7 is slightly better is to get the set bonus.

I got this a couple of weeks back on my Holy Paladin. It was an upgrade for me, so I took it, and I didn't think much more about it.

Now, when looking at the other chests that are comparable, I realised that I, in my opinion, already have the best chest in the game. (pre-ulduar obviously)

To show what I mean, I'll compare this chest to the 2 chests that are by most people considered the best chests for a Holy Paladin.

This chest doesn't have any of our 3rd best stat at all, Crit. Instead of crit it has mp5, which, eventhough it is on much plate gear, is not a very good stat compared to crit & haste. Obviously haste and mp5 are two totally different stats, but personally I think SP/crit/haste gear is always better than SP/crit/mp5 or SP/haste/mp5 gear, assuming the same iLevel of the items.

Assuming we only put Runed Scarlet Rubys (19 SP gems) in these chests, the gains of stats between each of them are:

Fallout Impervious Tunic:

6 Sta34 Crit

Chestplate of the Great Aspects:

24 Haste5 Spell Power

Seeing as crit in my opinion is a lot better than haste, I'd again say that the Fallout chest is better. I won't explain why crit is better than haste, but I'm sure plenty of people on the net have done that already, so just google it. :)

All in all, I myself think this is the best chest for a Holy Paladin at the moment. Obviously the tier chest can provide the 4-set bonus, which is really nice, making it better if you feel you run out of mana (huh! run out of mana? come again?), but I personally am not trying to achieve that bonus.

This is also an outstanding Resto Shaman chest as well.

People seem to think that if your resto then you need mp/5 when in fact Crit, Haste, and SP are better stats.

Just like the Holy Pali above this is an outstanding piece of armor for Rest.
